Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of anti-interleukin (IL)-1/-6 biologics on systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA)-associated macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). Methods Demographic, clinical and laboratory data of patients followed up with a diagnosis of sJIA-associated MAS assessed from sixteen paediatric rheumatology centres across the country. The clinical and laboratory features of MAS developing while on biological drugs were compared with those without this treatment. Results One hundred and sixty-two patients were included in the study. Forty-five of the MAS events were detected under the effect of anti-IL-1/-6 biologics, while the patients experiencing the remaining 155 events have not received biological treatment in the last three months. Platelet count [128 (72–232) vs 199 (130–371) 109/l], ferritin level on admission [1107 (676–2050) vs 2863 (1193–9562) ng/ml], C-reactive protein level [15.4 (2.9–56) vs 90 (32–160) mg/l], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [13 (3–36) vs 43.5 (13–77) mm/h] and fever duration [5 (4–7.5) vs 10 (7–14.3) days] were found lower in the group under the impact of anti-IL-1/-6 biologics. Among patients treated with biologics, 26.6% did not meet the published 2016 MAS classification criteria at presentation. The rates of hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were relatively lower in the canakinumab-treated group when compared with those receiving other biologicals or to patients, not on biologicals. Conclusion Anti-IL-1/-6 therapies can mask the clinical and laboratory features of MAS, and proposed guidelines for MAS classification criteria may not be met. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
ABSTRACTObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of etanercept (ETA) use in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).MethodsThe 24-month data of patients with JIA on etanercept in a single center were evaluated retrospectively. Response to treatment was assessed according to 10-joint Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS10), and JIA-American College of Rheumatology (ACR) improvement criteria. Safety assessments were based on adverse event (AE) reports.ResultsThe study included 152 patients with JIA. The mean age at diagnosis of JIA was 8.5 ± 4.4 years, and treatment with ETA started at a mean age of 11.1 ± 4.4 years. The mean duration of ETA use was 16 ± 11.1 months. The mean JADAS10 score at baseline was 18.5 ± 5.9. By the third month, it had reduced to 8.6 ± 6.6 and by the sixth month to 5.7 ± 6. By the twelfth month, the JADAS10 score was 4.9 ± 6.7, and by the twenty-fourth month, it had worsened to 7.3 ± 7.8. ACR50 response was achieved in 79.6% of patients at 3 months, 67.1% at 6 months, 79.3% at twelfth months, 70.7% at the twenty-fourth month. During ETA treatment, 10 patients required hospitalization for serious infections.ConclusionEtanercept is a safe and effective option for patients with JIA. However, variations in response between JIA subtypes highlight the need for individualized treatment strategies.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the use of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) in cases where we suspected rheumatic disease in our pediatric rheumatology clinic. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data pertaining to pediatric patients who presented at our clinic and underwent WBMRI over the last 5 years. Our investigation targeted children experiencing diffuse musculoskeletal pain, where precise localization was challenging and suspicion of rheumatological pathology persisted despite inconclusive results from conventional diagnostic modalities. Results: A total of 87 patients (33 female) underwent WBMRI at our clinic, with a median age (minimum–maximum) of 11.3 (0.5-18) years. Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 4 patients suspected with dermatomyositis (DM) where muscle biopsy was not feasible, revealing muscle involvement and myositis. Additionally, WBMRI was utilized in 4 patients diagnosed with chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) to assess recurrence, identifying new active lesions in 3 patients. Among the remaining 79 patients, 34 received a new diagnosis of CNO. Clinically, supported by additional findings in laboratory and WBMRI, 18 were diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 5 with protracted febrile myalgia syndrome (PFMS), 5 with acute osteomyelitis, and 1 with viral myositis. The results were normal for 17 patients. Conclusion: Most of the WBMRIs conducted at the clinic under study were primarily performed on patients suspected of having CNO. Additionally, WBMRI was found to be supportive and beneficial in cases of suspected DM, PFMS, and JIA during the diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To develop a novel scoring system to predict colchicine resistance in Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) based on the initial features of the patients. Methods: The medical records of patients were analyzed prior to the initiation of colchicine. After generating a predictive score in the initial cohort, it was applied to an independent cohort for external validation of effectiveness and reliability. Results: Among 1418 patients with FMF, 56 (3.9%) were colchicine resistant (cr) and 1312 (96.1%) were colchicine responsive. Recurrent arthritis (4 points), protracted febrile myalgia (8 points), erysipelas-like erythema (2 points), exertional leg pain (2 points), and carrying M694V homozygous mutation (4 points) were determined as the parameters for predicting cr-FMF in the logistic regression model. The cut-off value of 9 was 87% sensitive and 82% specific to foresee the risk of cr-FMF in the receiver operating characteristic. Validation of the scoring system with an independent group (cr-FMF = 107, colchicine responsive = 1935) revealed that the cut-off value was 82% sensitive and 79% specific to identify the risk of cr-FMF. Conclusions: By constructing this reliable and predictor tool, we enunciate that predicting cr-FMF at the initiation of the disease and interfering timely before the emergence of complications will be possible.

The effects of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) in the clinical course of COVID-19 on children with underlying rheumatologic diseases have not been fully demonstrated. To evaluate the course of COVID-19 infection in patients with rheumatic disease receiving bDMARD treatment. This was a retrospective, multicenter study conducted in pediatric patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 and under bDMARDs therapy. The study population consisted of 113 patients (72 female/41 male). The mean age of the patients was 12.87 ± 4.69 years. The primary diagnosis of the cohort was as follows: 63 juvenile idiopathic arthritis, 35 systemic autoinflammatory diseases, 10 vasculitides, and five cases of connective tissue diseases. The mean duration of the primary disease was 4.62 ± 3.65 years. A total of 19 patients had additional comorbid diseases. Thirty-five patients were treated with canakinumab, 25 with adalimumab, 18 with etanercept, 10 with infliximab, nine with tocilizumab, six with rituximab, four with anakinra, three with tofacitinib, and one with abatacept. The median exposure time of the biological drug was 13.5 months. Seventy-one patients had symptomatic COVID-19, while 42 were asymptomatic. Twenty-four patients required hospitalization. Five patients presented with MIS-C. The hospitalized patients were younger and had a shorter duration of rheumatic disease compared to ambulatory patients, although the difference was not statistically significant. Steroid usage, presence of fever, and dyspnea were more common among the hospitalized patients. A worsening in the course of both COVID-19 and current disease was not noticed under bDMARDs, however, to end with a strong conclusion multicentric international studies are required. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare chronic granulomatous vasculitis characterized by large-vessel involvement. The aorta and its main branches are most commonly involved. Although pulmonary artery involvement is common, hemoptysis or respiratory findings are rarely seen. Herein, we present a case of TA who developed anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. A 17-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of TA presented with cough, bloody vomiting, and diarrhea. In follow-up, she developed tachypnea and dyspnea and was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit. The findings on the chest computed tomography were compatible with acute COVID-19 infection, but the SARS-CoV2 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test was negative, but SARS-CoV2 immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM antibody tests were positive. The patient was not vaccinated against COVID-19. The bronchoscopy showed bronchial mucosal fragility, bleeding foci, and mucosal bleeding. The broncoalveolar lavage hemosiderin-laden macrophages were seen in the histopathologic examination. The indirect immunofluorescence assay-ANCA test became 3 (+) with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA of 125 RU/ml (normal: <20). Cyclophosphamide and pulse steroid treatment were started. After immunosuppressive therapy, the patient condition improved and did not have hemoptysis again. The successful response was obtained by applying balloon angioplasty to the patient with bilateral renal artery stenosis. Types of post-COVID vasculitis include thromboembolic events, cutaneous vasculitis, Kawasaki-like vasculitis, myopericarditis, and ANCAassociated vasculitis. It is thought that COVID-19 may impair immune tolerance and trigger autoimmunity with cross-reaction. To the best of our knowledge, the third pediatric case was reported with MPO-ANCA-positive COVID-associated ANCA vasculitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to look for the initial manifestations of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), give follow-up results, and search for risk factors for the development of calcinosis. METHODS: The files of children with JDM diagnosed between 2005 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: The study included 48 children, 33 girls and 15 boys. The mean age at the onset of the disease was 7.6±3.6 years. The median duration of follow-up was 35 (6-144) months. Twenty-nine patients (60.4%) had monocyclic, 7 (14.6%) patients had polycyclic, and 12 (25%) patients had chronic persistent disease course. At the time of enrollment, 35 (72.9%) patients were in remission, while 13 (27.1%) patients had active disease. Calcinosis developed in 11 patients (22.9%). Children having myalgia, livedo racemosa, skin hypopigmentation, lower alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and higher physician visual analog scores at the time of diagnosis had a higher risk for calcinosis. Calcinosis was also more common in children with diagnostic delay and chronic persistent disease course. None of these parameters remained independent risk factors for calcinosis in multivariate logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION: The rate of mortality has decreased dramatically over decades in JDM, but the rate of calcinosis has not changed proportionately. Long duration of active, untreated disease is accepted as the main risk factor for calcinosis. We have seen that calcinosis was more common in children having myalgia, livedo racemosa, skin hypopigmentation, lower ALT levels, and higher physician visual analog scores at the time of diagnosis.

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is not a well known disorder among nonpediatricians. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of twenty-two CRMO patients presenting to two referral centres. This retrospective study included twenty-two children (12 males, 10 females; mean age 13 years; range 7–17 years). The diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological, and pathological findings. Data were retrieved from hospital charts. The mean delay in diagnosis was 26 months (range, 0–96 months). The mean follow-up after diagnosis was 27.4 months (range, 6–47 months). Symptoms included pain, limping, local swelling, morning stiffness, and fever. 18 patients had multifocal and 4 patients had unifocal disease. Bone lesions were detected with whole-body or local MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The mean number of bone lesions was 2.5 (range, 1–8). Ten cases underwent biopsy to exclude malignancy and infection. Prior to diagnosis, cast immobilization or curettage was erroneously performed in four patients. One patient suffered from vertebral compression fracture. There is no growth disturbance or deformity in any patient. This study demonstrated that early recognition of the disease can be improved by using Bristol criteria which should be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team rather than one single specialist. In this way, the reliability of these criteria is improved and the treatment could be given earlier with decreased delay in diagnosis. This multidisciplinary approach is also important for decision for biopsy, timely aggressive medical treatment, and follow-up of the disease to minimise possible complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
ABSTRACTBackgroundWe aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the original product (OP) and biosimilar product (BP) of adalimumab in pediatric rheumatic diseases.Research design and methodsThe study group consisted of patients who had received original or biosimilar adalimumab (ABP 501) therapy for at least 3 months. The patients were divided into uveitis and arthritis groups based on the indication of adalimumab treatment. Assessment of disease activity was performed by Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and by standardization of uveitis nomenclature criteria in patients with uveitis.ResultsThe study included 140 patients, of which 87 were treated with OP and 53 with BP. In the arthritis group, 26 (63.4%) and 20 (57.1%) patients reached inactive disease according to JADAS-27 in the original and biosimilar adalimumab groups, respectively. In the uveitis group the mean number of exacerbations throughout the treatment period was 0.84 ± 1.07 in the OP group, and 0.58 ± 0.79 in the BP group. There were 71 treatment-emergent adverse events in the OP group and 38 in the BP group.ConclusionThere was no significant difference between the biosimilar and the original product in efficacy and safety.

IgA vaskulitis ,nefritis ,nekroze ,bule - Abstract
Uvod. IgA vaskulitis (IgAV) najčešći je sistemski vasulitis u djece. Kožne promjene, koje su obvezni klasifikacijski kriterij, najčešće su tipične, ali u oko 2% djece mogu se pojaviti teže promjene koje uključuju hemoragijske vezikule i bule koje mogu progredirati do ulceracija i nekroza. Pitanje je jesu li teže kožne promjene povezane i s težom kliničkom slikom. Ispitanici i metode. U ovo istraživanje uključena su djeca iz 8 međunarodnih sveučilišnih centara koja su u sklopu IgAV-a razvila teže kožne manifestacije. Podaci su analizirani deskriptivno i primjenom Fisherova testa. Rezultati. Prikupljeni su podaci o 40 bolesnika s težim kožnim manifestacijama koji su uspoređeni s kohortom od 611 bolesnika s IgAV-om iz nacionalne baze podataka. Od ukupnog broja bolesnika 65% bilo je muškog spola, a medijan (raspon) dobi pri dijagnozi iznosio je 8, 5 (1, 5– 17, 08) godina. Najznačajniji okidač bolesti bile su infekcije, prisutne u 57, 5% bolesnika, najviše respiratorne. Najčešći prvi simptom bolesti bile su kožne promjene (60%), a tipične i teže kožne promjene dominantno su zahvaćale donje ekstremitete (45% odnosno 70%). Medijan (raspon) od prvog simptoma do prve teže kožne manifestacije iznosio je 4.5 (0–180) dana, a njihovog trajanja 10 (4–780) dana dok je od prve teže kožne promjene do početka liječenja proteklo 1 (0–37) dan. U 75% bolesnika nisu zabilježene trajne sekvele na koži dok su u 12, 5% zaostali trajni ožiljci, a u 10% promjene pigmentacije. Nefritis je razvilo 40% bolesnika, a najčešći nalaz bila je kombinacija hematurije i proteinurije. Bolesnici s težim kožnim promjenama statistički su značajno češće razvili nefritis (p = 0, 0085) i bili su značajno češće liječeni sistemskim glukokortikoidima (p < 0, 00001), a većina bolesnika imala je i gastrointestinalne (67, 5%) i zglobne manifestacije (62, 5%). Svi su bolesnici liječeni, pri čemu ih je 75% liječeno primjenom metilprednizolona s medijanom (rasponom) kumulativne doze od 33 (4–170, 46) mg/kg i medijanom (rasponom) trajanja liječenja od 17 (3– 298) dana, a 40% liječeno je primjenom nesteroidnih protuupalnih lijekova u trajanju od 5 (2–30) dana. Ostali su lijekovi primijenjeni sporadično. Zaključak. Bolesnici s IgAV-om i težim kožnim manifestacijama statistički su značajno češće razvili nefritis i bili liječeni sistemskim glukokortikoidima.

To review the real-life data, to provide an input to the literature concerning treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) with adalimumab (ADL) biosimilar. This multi-centric retrospective study was conducted among children with JIA, followed up for at least 24-weeks from the initiation of ADL biosimilar (ABP 501) treatment. Adverse events and alterations in disease activity scores were figured out. The median age of the group was 15.5 (5���18) years. JIA categories were oligoarticular (n =12), enthesitis-related (ERA) (n=24), psoriatic (PsA) (n=6), and polyarticular (n=4). Uveitis was detected at the initiation of the disease (n=3), during the disease course (n=5), or before the diagnosis (n=1). The first-line treatment preferences were ADL biosimilar (n=37) and etanercept (n=9). On the 6th month of ABP 501, 40 (86.9%) patients had achieved complete remission. Six patients (1 PsA, 1 polyarticular JIA, and 4 ERA) had ongoing active arthritis. Furthermore, all except one of the patients had remission of ophthalmologic findings. No life-threatening adverse events were observed. ABP 501 has a gradual increase in prescription in pediatric rheumatology. Real-life data of the cohort announce that ADL biosimilar is a suitable and effective treatment option for patients with JIA in case of indication.

Bireylerin tasarruflarını etkili bir şekilde yönetebilmesi ve alternatifler arasından verimli olabilecek tercihler yapabilmesi, sahip olabileceği finansal okuryazarlık yeteneği ile mümkündür. Finansal okuryazarlık bireylerin finansal piyasalar hakkında en azından temel düzeyde bilgi sahibi olması ve çeşitli alternatifler arasından seçim yapabilmesi iken, İslami finansal okuryazarlık ise bireylerin faizsiz olan finans ürünleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olması ve seçimlerini yaparken bu faizsiz ürünler arasından hangisini/hangilerini seçeceğine karar verebilme yeteneğidir. Finansal okuryazarlığın geliştirilmesi, tasarruf ve yatırım bilincinin arttırılması, finansal istikrarın ve sermaye piyasalarının gelişimi açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. İslami finans okuryazarlığının geliştirilmesi ise finansal okuryazarlığın faydalarının yanı sıra, ortaklık bilincinin gelişmesine ve ekonomik krizlerin oluşmasında ve büyümesinde büyük etkisi olan faiz probleminin de etkisinin azalmasını sağlayacaktır.Bu çalışmada; İstanbul Ticaret Odası'na kayıtlı küçük ve orta büyüklükteki 16 işletme sahibi ile mülakat yapılarak, bu işletmelerin İslami finans enstrümanı olan katılım bankacılığı sistemini ne derece bildikleri ve bankacılık işlemlerinde bu banka türünü kullanıp kullanmadıkları araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda katılım bankalarının müşteri nezdindeki algı problemleri ve çalışma prensiplerindeki bazı aksaklıklar tespit edilmiş ve bu durumun giderilmesi için öneriler getirilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: İslami Finans, Finansal Okuryazarlık, İslami Finans Okuryazarlığı, Katılım Bankacılığı The efficacy of individuals' management of their savings and ability to make sound judgments about alternative investment opportunities is dependent on the their level of what can be described as financial literacy. While conventional financial literacy refers to the level of individuals' understanding, at least at basic level, of the financial markets and their competence in making informed choices about the financial opportunities and alternatives, Islamic financial literacy, in contrast, refers to individuals' knowledge of interest-free Islamic financial instruments and their ability to make choices amongst these interest-free products. Improving the level of financial literacy and enhancing the consciousness of the savings and investments amongst the people are crucial for financial stability and well-functioning of the capital markets. On the top of benefits that are associated with conventional financial literacy, improvement in the levels of Islamic financial literacy will have added values in the form of giving further boost to the partnerships and joint ventures, while decreasing the impacts of interests, which plays central role in the emergence and deepening of the financial crises. This study is premised on 16 in-depth interviews with SME owners, who are registered with İstanbul Chambers of Commerce. One of the central aim of this study has been to investigate these SMEs' level of awareness and understanding of the system of participation banking, which is an instrument of Islamic finance. Related to this, this study has also examined the extent to which these SMEs utilize this form of banking in their overall banking activities. As a result of this field (interview) based study, the research has found out that participation banking suffers from a perception problem - in the views of the customers - and deficiencies in this form of banking's working principles. Lastly, the research has attempted to offer recommendations in order to remedy these deficiencies and perception problems of participation banking.Key Words: Islamic Finance, Financial Literacy, Islamic Finance Literacy, Participation Banking. 136

Objective: Poisoning is a preventable, potentially lethal health problem, common in emergency services. Poisoning agents may vary depending on age gender, countries, regions and seasons. In this study, we aimed to determine the epidemiological and demographic characteristics of cases of poisoning admitted to the pediatric emergency department and to define protective measures. Method: Cases of poisoning aged between 0-17 years that were admitted to Bakırköy Pediatric Emergency Department of Dr. Sadi Konuk Education and Research Hospital, between 01.06.2017 and 01.06.2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: A total of 196 cases (female, 54.1%, and male 45.9%) were included in our study. Etiologies of poisoning were as follows: accidents (81.6%), suicidal atetmpts (13.3%), erroneous treatment (5.1%). Drugs (61.2%), and non-drug toxins (38.8%) were used. Analgesicantipyretics (21.9%) were the most commonly used agents, followed by corrosive agents in 18.9%, non-corrosive irritants in 11.7%, antidepressants in 7.7% and vitamin-minerals in 6.6% of the patients. Poisoning agents were taken by oral route in 96.9%, through skin in 0.5% and via inhalation in 2.6% of the cases. Most (81.6%) of the cases were treated in the emergency department, 5.1% in the outpatient setting, 7.1% in the pediatric ward and 6.1% in the pediatric intensive care unit. The mean observation period was 20.55±19.98 hours and the mean cost was 274.19±445.69 TL. Conclusion: The awareness of health personnel and families will be the primary step in taking preventive measures, reducing the workload of hospitals and making a positive contribution to the country's economy.

- Abstract
Amaç: Makrofaj aktivasyon sendromu (MAS), multi-organ yetmezliği ile karakterize, hayati tehdit oluşturabilen bir sitokin fırtınası durumudur. T lenfositlerinin, makrofajların ve hemofagositik histiyositlerin uyarılması sonucu açığa çıkan interferon-γ, IL-1,IL-6, IL-18 ve TNF-α bu sitokin fırtınasından sorumludur. Bütün romatizmal hastalıklarda görülebildiği gibi en sık sistemik juvenil idiopatik artrit (sJIA) seyrinde görülür. Bu olgu sunumunda tedaviye dirençli tekrarlayan MAS atakları olan bir olgu sunulacaktır. Olgu: On dokuz yaşında kız hasta, 16 yaşındayken bir aydır olan ürtikeryal döküntü ve eklem ağrısı yakınmaları ile başvurdu. Anamnezinde tekrarlayan ateş ataklarının olduğu, ataklarda döküntü, el ve ayaklarda şişlik yakınmasının da eşlik ettiği öğrenildi. Atak sırasında akut faz yanıtlarının da yüksek olması nedeni ile hastada CAPS düşünülerek ateşli hastalık paneli istendi. Sonucunda NLRP3 geninde Q705K heterozigot varyant saptandı ve hastaya CAPS tanısı konuldu. Kolşisin tedavisi başlandı. Ataklarının devam etmesi nedeni ile de 3 ay sonra kanakinumab tedavisine geçildi. Yaklaşık 9 ay sonra COVID enfeksiyonu geçiren hastada, sonrasında sitokin fırtınası durumu gözlendi. Hastaya IVIG uygulandı, pulse metilprednizolon ve anakinra başlandı. On gün sonra hasta taburcu edildi. Hasta sonraki takiplerinde toplam 9 kez MAS atağı geçirdi. Atakları genellikle viral enfeksiyonlar ve soğukla tetikleniyor, halsizlik, üşüme-titreme, eklem ağrısı yakınmaları eşlik ediyordu. Atak zamanı bakılan CRP: 170-240 mg/L, sedimentasyon: 20-40 mm/h, serum amiloid a: 20-80 mg/dL, trigliserid: 170-300, ferritin: 4000-7000 arasında, fibrinojen: 200-300, AST: 100-200 arasında seyretmekteydi. Haziran 2021'de yapılan kemik iliği aspirasyonunda hemofagositoz izlendi. Atak dönemlerinde IVIG, pulse steroid, anakinra ve siklosporin tedavileri uygulandı. Primer HLH açısından gönderilen syntaxin, perforin ve STXBP2 genlerinde mutasyon saptanmadı. UNC13D geninde benign olarak sınıflandırılan c.2599A>G heterozigot varyant saptandı. NLRC4 geninde mutasyon saptanmadı. İmmünyetmezlik açısından yapılan immünoglobulinler, lenfosit alt grubu ve immünofenotipleme tetkiklerinde patolojiye rastlanmadı. İmmünodisregülasyon genetik analizinde anlamlı bir mutasyona rastlanmadı. Haziran ayında bakılan sitokin profilinde IL-1,IL-6 ve IL-18 düzeylerinde yükseklik saptandı. Kanakinumab 300 mg ile tedaviye devam edildi. Sonuç: Tekrarlayan MAS atakları ile gelen bu hastada ayrıntılı genetik analizde etken saptanamamış olup tedavisi ve izlemi tartışılacaktır.

- Abstract
Amaç: Takayasu arteriti aorta ana dallarına etkileyen bir büyük damar vaskülitidir. Sistemik-lokal organ iskemisi nedeniyle heterojen-ağır özellik gösterir. Hastalık alevlenmelerle gider, kalıcı hasar bırakabilir. Tedavi yönlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmış olan çalışmalarda TNF-alfa/İL-6'nın varlığı gösterilmiş, bunlara karşı geliştirilen ajanların hastalık kontrolünü sağladığı bildirilmiştir. Pediatrik-TA için belirlenmiş tedavi önerisi yoktur. Uygulanan tedaviler erişkin-TA hastalarından ekstrapolasyon yoluyla rutine girmiştir. Pediyatrik Takayasu hastalarında anti-sitokin tedaviler ile hastalığın kısmı yanıt gösterdiği gösterilmiştir. Yöntem: Çocuk romatoloji kliniğinde 2016 yılından itibaren TA tanısıyla izlenen hastalarda biyolojik tedavisi gereksinimin sıklığının, biyolojik kullanan hastalarının genel özelliklerinin ve tedavilerin güvenlik profillerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bulgular: Kliniğimizde izlenen 10 TA tanısı almış çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bu hastaların 4'ü erkek 6'sı kızdı. Ortanca hastalık başlangıç yaşı 9 yıldı (min: 7 ay-maks: 18,5 yıl). Medyan hastalık süreleri 4 yıldı (min: 6 ay-maks: 15 yıl). Çalışmaya alınan bir hasta hipertansif ensefalopati ile başvurdu. Bir hasta FMF nedeniyle takip edilirken hastalık saptandı. Hastaların bir tanesinde tanı anında ventrikül hipertrofisi bulunmaktaydı. Bir hastada vertebral arter tutulumu tanı anında görüldü. İki hasta infant dönemde tanı aldı. Bu hastalardan biri piyoderma gangrenozum ile izlenmekteydi. Bir hasta flask paralizi ve MCA infarktı ile kliniğimize başvurmuştu. Hastaların izlemlerinde %30 hasta (n=3) konvansiyonel DMARD'larla izlendi. %70 hastada (n=7) biyolojik tedaviye geçildi. Yedi hastanın tedavisinin tamamında tosiluzumab ile biyolojik tedavi başladı. Hastaların izleminde 2 hastanın tedavisinde infliksimab ile switch yapıldı. Ortanca biyolojik kullanma süresi 2 yıldı. İki hastanın switch yapılma nedeni, AFR'lerde gerileme olmamasıydı. Bu hastalarda İNF tedavi altında hastalık alevlenmesi görülmedi. Biyolojik tedavi öncesi hastaların %50'sinde (n=4) ateş, %50'sinde (n=4) hipertansiyon. %75'inde (n=6) miyalj-halsizlik-zayıflama vardı. %75 (n=6) hastada bu bulgular biyolojik tedavinin ilk 2 ayında geriledi. Biyolojik öncesi hastaların ortanca CRP değeri 41 mg/L sedim değeri 52 mm/saat idi. Biyolojik alan hastaların 1 ay sonrası bakılan ortanca CRP değeri 2 mg/L sedim değeri 10 mm/saat görüldü. Hastaların izleminde MR-anjiyo bulgularında gerileme saptanmadı. Hastaların biyolojik izlemlerinde problem yaşanmadı. Alerjik bulgular görülmedi. Hastaların hiçbirinde ortaağır enfeksiyonlar yaşanmadı. Biyolojik kullanan TA hastalarının tedaviye cevapları ve sedim-CRP düşüşleri arasında yaş-cinsiyet açısından farklılık saptanmadı. MR ile hastalık gruplandırıldığında %40 (n=4) hasta tip 1, %20 (n=2) hasta tip 2, %10 (n=1) hasta tip 3, %20 (n=2) hasta tip 4, %10 (n=1) hasta tip 5 olarak sınıflandırıldı. Gruplar arasında tedavi yanıtında fark saptanmadı. Biyolojik tedaviler İL-6 veya TNF-inhibitörleri, immünosüpresif tedavilere dirençli hastalarda güvenle kullanılmaktadır. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Amaç: Adenozin deaminaz-2 (ADA-2) eksikliği, otozomal resesif kalıtılan ADA-2 genindeki fonksiyon kaybettirici mutasyonlar sonucu ortaya çıkan bir vaskülitik sendromdur. Hastalarda tekrarlayan ateş atakları, livedo rasemosadan, immün yetmezlik, hematolojik tutulum, PAN benzeri klinik ve erken başlangıçlı inme gibi geniş bir spektrumda bulgular görülür. Çalışmamızın amacı ADA-2 eksikliği nedeni ile takip edilen hastalar ve semptomsuz aile bireylerinde hem genotipik hem de enzim düzey analizi ile fonksiyonel değerlendirme yapmaktır. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 2016-2022 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde ADA-2 tanısı ile izlenen toplam 6 aileden hasta ve semptomsuz aile bireyi dahil edildi. Çalışmaya alınan bütün bireylerin ADA-2 genine ve ADA-2 enzim aktivitesine bakıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 12 hasta (K/E:5/7) ve 9 (K/E:7/2) asemptomatik aile bireyi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların ortanca şikayet başlama yaşı, tanı yaşı sırasıyla 3,5 yıl ve 8,5 yıldı. Hastaların 4'ü (%33,3) hafif, 8'i (%66,6) ağır klinik fenotipe sahipti. En sık klinik bulgular sırasıyla tekrarlayan ateş (%75), vasküler tutulum (%66,7), eklem ağrısı (%50), miyalji (%25), artrit (%25), karın ağrısı (%25), mental retardasyon (%25), immün yetmezlik (%25), Diamond-Blackfan anemisi (%16,7), tuzak nöropatisi (%8,3) ve iskemik inme (%8,3) idi. ADA-2 enzim aktivitesi hafif klinik bulgulara sahip olanlarda, ağır klinik bulgulara sahip olanlarda ve asemptomatik bireylerde sırasıyla ortanca (min-maks): 4,1 (0-12,1), 0 (0-0,2) ve 38,9 (4,4-57,4) mU/g protein bulundu. Ağır klinik fenotipe sahip 8 hastanın 4'ünde G47R alleli saptanırken, 2 hastada S50L, 1 hastada R49fs, 1 hastada Y453C alleli saptandı.Dokuz asemptomatik bireyin 4'ünde G47R, 3'ünde Y453C, 1'inde K34fs, 1'inde R49fs alleli heterozigot olarak saptandı. Asemptomatik aile bireylerinin taşıdığı allel ve enzim aktivitesi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmazken (p=0,690), en düşük enzim aktivite düzeyi R49fs allelini taşıyan bireyde saptandı. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda literatürle uyumlu olarak hastalardaki klinik bulguların genotipten ve enzim aktvitesinden bağımsız olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle fenotipteki çeşitliliği sadece neden olan mutasyon ya da rezidü enzim aktivitesi ile açıklamanın tam olarak mümkün olmadığı kanaatine varılmıştır. Bu durumu açıklayabilecek çeşitli epigenetik faktörlerle ilgili daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Amaç: TNF-α inhibitörü adalimumab, farklı romatizmal hastalıklarda kullanılan hastalık modifiye edici biyolojik antiromatizmal bir ilaçtır (bDMARD). Biyobenzer adalimumab (ABP-501) ise yakın zamanda FDA ve EMA tarafından onaylanan adalimumab biyobenzeri üründür. Orijinal ve biyobenzer adalimumab moleküllerinin çocukluk çağı romatizmal hastalıklarında etkinlik ve güvenliğini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Bu retrospektif, tek merkezli çalışma, Ümraniye Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Çocuk Romatoloji Kliniği'nde yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmaya 1 Ocak 2016-1 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında kronik romatizmal hastalık nedeniyle takip edilen ve en az üç ay süreyle orijinal veya biyobenzer adalimumab tedavisi alan hastalar dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik ve klinik verileri tedavinin başlangıcında, 3., 6., 12., 24. ve 36. aylarında toplandı. Hastalık aktivite değerlendirmesi JİA tanılı hastalarda JADAS-27 ve ACR yanıtları, üveit tanılı hastalarda SUN kriterleri ve Behçet tanılı hastalarda Behçet Hastalık Aktivite İndeksi ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya adalimumab ile tedavi edilen toplam 98 hasta (72 orjinal ve 26 biyobenzer molekül) dahil edildi. Çalışmada kız/erkek oranı 50/48'di. Hastalar adalimumab tedavisi uygulanma sebebi artrit ve üveit olanlar olarak gruplandırıldı. Tüm hastalar adalimumab ile tedavi döneminin en az bir aralığında eş zamanlı DMARD aldı. Sonuç: Orijinal ve biyobenzer adalimumab grupları arasında daha önce kullanılan DMARD tipleri açısından bir fark yoktu. Tedavi öncesi tüm hastaların aktif hastalığı vardı. Hem artrit hem de üveit grupları arasında 3., 6., 12., 24., 36., aylarda orijinal ve biyobenzer adalimumab alan hastalar arasında ilaç etkinliği bakımından yanıtlar benzerdi. Her grupta bir hastada ciddi yan etki görüldü (orijinal adalimumab grubunda lenfoma, ABP-501 grubunda tüberküloz menenjit). Orijinal adalimumab grubunda sekiz hastada ve ABP-501 grubunda iki hastada ciddi olmayan yan etki gözlendi, gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Biyobenzer adalimumab ABP-501 ile orjinal adalimumab arasında etkinlik ve güvenlik açısından anlamlı bir fark gözlenmemiştir. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Amaç: Juvenil idiyopatik artrit (JİA), çocukluk çağının en sık görülen kronik romatizmal hastalıklarından birisidir. Tocilizumab (TCZ), orta ila şiddetli aktif JİA'yı tedavi etmek için kullanılan bir interlökin 6 (IL-6) reseptör antagonistidir. Hem intravenöz (IV) hem de subkütan (SC) yolla kullanımı çocuklarda onaylanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, JİA tanılı hastalarda, SC TCZ'nin IV TCZ'ye göre etkinliğini ve güvenilirliğini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Haziran 2016-Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında Ümraniye Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Romatoloji Kliniği'nde JİA tanısı alan ve en az bir doz TCZ kullanan tüm hastalar prospektif olarak izlendi. Hastalık aktivitesi, tedavinin başlangıcında 12,24 ve 48. haftada, JADAS-27 ESR ile değerlendirildi. Şiddetli advers olaylar, yaşamı tehdit eden ve/veya hastane yatışı gerektiren, kalıcı sakatlığa veya tedavinin kesilmesine yol açan olaylar olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 32'si sistemik JİA (%68,1) ve 15'i poli JİA (%31,9) olmak üzere toplam 47 hasta (34 kadın, 13 erkek) dahil edildi. Hastaların tanı anındaki ortalama yaşı 7,8±4 yıl ve TCZ başlandığındaki medyan yaş 10,4 yıldı (IQR 6,2 - 14 yıl). Tüm hastalara başlangıçta hastalık modifiye edici antiromatizmal ilaçlar (metotreksat veya sülfasalazin) verildi. Çoğu hasta TCZ'den önce prednizon (%89,4, N=42) ve/veya biyolojik bir ajan (%51, N=24) kullanmıştı. TCZ tedavisi sonrası tüm hastaların %46,8'i inaktif hastalığa ulaştı ve steroid kullanan 42 hastanın 11'inde (%26,1) steroid kesildi. IVTCZ ile tedavi edilen 40 hastanın medyan JADAS-27 skoru, başlangıçta 21'den (IQR, 17-24.6) 48. haftada 4'e (IQR, 0-8) geriledi. Yirmi üç hastada SC TCZ kullanıldı, bunların 16'sı IV tedaviden sonra ve 7'si doğrudan TCZ kullanan hastalardı. Bu hastaların medyan JADAS-27 skoru başlangıçta 7'den (IQR, 0.5-15.2) 48. haftada 0'a (IQR, 0-5) geriledi. Hastaların 13'ünde (%27,6) şiddetli advers olay gözlendi. Malignite veya ölüm olgusu bildirilmedi. Sonuç: Bu kohortta, TCZ'nin hem SC hem de IV formu, switchler de dahil olmak üzere hem pJIA hem de sJIA'lı çocukların uzun süreli tedavisinde etkili bulunmuştur ve iyi tolere edilir.
